No. Physical violence is never acceptable. If a man can't control his temper, he is either an emotional child or mentally disabled and in need of professional help or incarceration, jail or a mental ward. Now, that said, if a man is physically attacked or needs to come to the rescue of someone else being physically attacked, or is forced into action because of a crime (like someone breaking your stuff or stealing it), sure, use physical power to deal with the situation if that is the only reasonable action.

Of course couples get frustrated with each other sometimes. No relationship is all sweetness and fun. But striking out physically or even mentally at a weakness is never acceptable. I'd walk away in a minute.

I was just wondering if it was a sex thing because I know when some guys are horny they aren't always responsible for their actions. If not then it's an anger thing which to me is more concerning.

Destinharbor saidGuys are always responsible for their actions. Always.

So my friends with some bloke who broke his phone and I had to lend him my spare phone. He asked my advice but I kind of didn't know what to say. What should I advise? The guys never been physically violent as much as I know.

Your friend needs to ask the bloke to replace or pay for another phone. If the bloke says no, then he's really not great BF material, is he? *winks*

Your friend's friend owes your friend a new phone and an apology specifically stating he will never be violent with your friend or his stuff ever again. For any reason. And he should pick up dinner and a movie, too.

That's how a short tempered person like me, who, until few years ago would fit into the person you describe has converted into a whole different person now where people I often meet started asking "won't you ever get angry?"
